About Gus

Hi! I'm Gus, a 3 year old, 12 pound, neutered Yorkie Poo pup who loves to play and cuddle. I don't really understand the whole personal space concept. I want to be as close to you as possible. I'm also crate trained! I currently sleep in there at night. As soon as I see my nighttime treat, I run in, eat my snack, and off to sleep I go. I usually will sleep and stay quiet until you wake up in the morning. One of my favorite things is playing with a playmate, so it would be really nice if there was another little brother or sister for me to play with. If not, I'm pretty good with chasing down balls and playing with toys on my own. I'm quite vocal too, always ready to 'talk' about my day. And I love my Zoomies! I can run around with joy and play catch in my yard. So, a small dog secure fenced yard would be nice but not required. I'm happy to get out of the house and go on walks to do my business. I pull a little at the beginning, but my foster mom is working on that. And hold on tight if there is a bunny or birdie around, as I will do whatever I can to catch it. And I have to let you in on a little secret: I can be a bit snarky when it comes to my food, so it's best to let me eat in peace. I would say I'd be best in a house with kids over 16 as I can get a little nippy when playing. Slow introductions to new folks coming into the home are probably best as well, as I do like to protect my home. Why should you adopt me? Well, I'm full of love and fun, just waiting to share my zest for life with a family who loves a playful, cuddly companion like me! And don't forget the cute factor. My cute little face is pretty hard to resist. I am up to date on all shots, neutered, microchipped, fecal checked, heartworm negative and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. My adoption fee is $450. If you believe Gus is for you, then go to our website heathersfosterdogs.org .
